A call to strengthen clinical trials capacity in resource-limited settings
BOX Clinical trials are conducted mostly in the Global North or through North-South collaborations
Local values, local losses: Assessing and addressing loss and damage from climate change in Northcentral Bangladesh
There is a limited understanding of unmonetizable, yet valuable, ‘non-economic’ losses and damages and how to address them. Fortunately, the number of assessments explicitly focusing on ‘non-economic’ impacts to inform policy-making is growing. However, assessments are commonly shaped by standardized Western conceptualisations, such as the dichotomy between ‘economic’ and ‘non-economic’ impacts and pre-determined types of ‘non-economic’ losses an…
Faith-based leaders’ perceptions on the implementation of programs to promote healthy lifestyles in churches in Barbados- a mixed-methods analysis
We found that health-based programs in churches align well with church doctrines, but the success of these programs will depend on, equipping leaders with the skills and knowledge to engage in health-related conversations while including biblically sensitive messaging
Using data systems to conduct health research in the Caribbean: Challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic
We aimed to assess how control measures during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected the metabolic health of people with noncommunicable diseases when severe restrictions on movement and safety concerns prevented the use of traditional methods of health data collection. To identify study participants, we attempted to use hospital laboratory databases in Jamaica, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago. We planned to contact particip…
Understanding the phases and tensions of regenerative agriculture for better health outcomes for farmers
Australian farmers face an array of challenges impacting mental health, such as extreme climatic events, market uncertainties, technological dependence, regulatory demands, and social isolation. Regenerative agriculture (RA) has been suggested as a way for farmers to improve wellbeing by integrating natural systems, continuous evaluation, and adaptation—while benefitting from the socio-cultural aspects of farmer relations—for sustainable food pro…
The 'good story' and kindness Twitter: Tales of hope and fears of dupery during Covid-19
There is a long history of investment in solidaristic stories in the face of social upheaval, threat or conflict, and this was especially evident in relation to Covid-19. This article examines the way that one such narrative - the idea of kindness - was drawn on by Twitter users during the pandemic. Setting it in the context of a wider cultural preoccupation with kindness that both predates and continues beyond the pandemic, we draw on empirical …
A public health approach to reducing violence within the Caricom region
Widespread crime has become a worldwide problem so much so that violence is now ranked fourth globally in its contribution to disability-adjusted life years in the 10 to 24 age group. Homicides, a surrogate marker of violent crime, have shown an upward trend in almost all of the CARICOM countries, and homicide rates over the past 3 years have consistently increased, though the pattern of violence varies by country. This background has informed th…
Valuing a values-based approach for assessing loss and damage
Anthropogenic climate change is causing widespread losses and damages to what people value. To date, non-economic loss and damage assessments are commonly guided by predefined ‘types’ of non-economic losses, similar to those proposed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Instead, we draw from studies conducted in Bangladesh and Fiji to emphasize the benefits of a values-based assessment approach to gain a context-sensitive…

Cautionary Tales: Young people, crime and policing in Edinburgh
Juvenile crime makes headlines. It is the stock-in-trade of politicians and pundits. But young people are also the victims of crime. They too have demands to make of the police. Drawing upon survey and interview research with 11 to 15 year-olds in Edinburgh, this book examines how crime impacts upon young people’s everyday lives. It reveals that young people experience far more serious problems as victims and witnesses of crime, than they cause a…
Thinking Sociologically About Kindness: Puncturing the Blasé in the Ordinary City
This article makes the case for a sociological engagement with kindness. Although virtually ignored by sociologists, we tend to know kindness when we see it and to feel its absence keenly. We suggest there are at least four features of 'ordinary' kindness which render it sociologically relevant: its infrastructural quality; its unobligated character; its micro or inter-personal focus and its atmospheric potential. This latter quality is not the '…
Supporting local climate adaptation planning and implementation through local governance and decentralised finance provision
Policies developed at national levels can be unresponsive to local needs. Often they do not provide the rural poor with access to the assets and services they need to allow them to innovate and adapt to the ways that increased climate variability and change exacerbate challenges to basic securities – food, water, energy, and well-being. In development deficit circumstances, common pool resources are important for climate adaptation purposes. In o…
Negotiating Climate Resilience in Nepal
One of the key drivers of the global political economy of climate change is the evolving financial architecture; yet there is little research into how this plays out at the national level. How will the new ideas and ideologies be received and interpreted in national policymaking arenas? What does this mean for how power, processes and resources are negotiated and institutionalised? This article addresses these questions through a case study analy…
Hanging in, stepping up and stepping out: Livelihood Aspirations and Strategies of the Poor
In recent years understanding of poverty and of ways in which people escape from or fall into poverty has become more holistic. This should improve the capabilities of policy analysts and others working to reduce poverty, but it also makes analysis more complex. This article describes a simple schema which integrates multi-dimensional, multi-level, and dynamic understandings of poverty, of poor people's livelihoods, and of changing roles of agric…

Valuing non-market benefits derived from allotments in southeast England: A contingent valuation study
The English derive a wide range of values from allotments, but nearly 35% of allotments have disappeared in the last 20 years. The real value of allotments has probably been underestimated. The contingent valuation method (CVM) was used to give a monetary value to benefits derived from allotments by allotment holders and local residents. The study was conducted in southeast England (Wye and Ashford, Kent and Greater London). A postal survey with …
Beyond Anti-Smacking: Rethinking parent-child relations
Recently, it has been argued that 'anti-smacking' campaigns have been so successful that 'explicit pro-smackers' are now thin on the ground. Yet the use of physical chastisement remains widespread. One response to this contradiction is to focus less on parents and more on children's rights. In this article, however, the authors draw on data from a recent Scottish study of parents' views of physical chastisement to answer the following question: I…
Dietary intake and the insulin-like growth factor system: Effects of migration in two related populations in India and Britain with markedly different dietary intake
Background The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Objective We report the effects of total energy intake on the IGF system in two populations with markedly different dietary macronutrient intake and cardiovascular event rate. Design, subjects and setting Dietary macronutrient intake was measured in a specific Gujarati migrant community in Sandwell, UK ( n = 205) compar…
The influence of dietary intake on the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system across three ethnic groups: A population-based study
Objective: The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system has been implicated in the aetiopathogenesis of cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Since dietary factors and ethnicity are considered contributory to the development of these diseases, we examined the IGF system in relation to nutritional intake by ethnic group. Design, subjects and setting: Dietary intake in 257 subjects of White European, African-Caribbean and Pakistani ethnic ori…
